How many were repeats (deleted from device, then re-downloaded later)? How many were updates to existing apps (or did they count those)?

These numbers are meant to impress people who know nothing about numbers, in my opinion.

Reminds me of the channel stuffing that Samsung, Motorola, and others did to tout their tablets sales.

Also reminds me of articles that identify the dominance of Android 9 or 10 months after an iPhone has shipped (and when a flagship Android device has recently shipped).
